I…read morestarted Pilates to help rehab a lower back and sciatica issue since I didn't find much relief from physical therapy. The studio itself is lovely--the front desk staff is friendly and attentive, and the waiting area is cozy, clean, quiet, and peaceful. I also really appreciate that they keep doors and windows open for fresh air, especially during cold and flu season. A friend recommended private lessons with Carlo, and I've been extremely happy with him. He's an excellent instructor who took the time to understand my medical condition and tailor sessions that avoid aggravating my injury. Instead, he focuses on strengthening my hips, back, and glutes, and improving my posture. I'm learning so much and highly recommend his instruction and the studio.

I only wanted to use what I paid for! I will be reporting this as fraud to my credit card company.

I'm so excited that Internal Fire Pilates is close to where I'm moving in San Rafael. This studio…read moreis a true gem in Marin. What makes it stand out immediately is that they teach classic Pilates, which is surprisingly hard to find these days. So many studios have moved toward trendier, watered down versions of Pilates, but Internal Fire stays true to the original method and you can absolutely feel the difference in the quality of the workout. Another thing that really impressed me is the equipment. They have top of the line apparatus that you just don't see in many of the other Pilates studios around Marin. Everything is beautifully maintained, professional grade, and clearly chosen with serious Pilates practice in mind. It makes the entire experience feel elevated and authentic. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, attentive to form, and clearly deeply trained in the classical method. The studio itself is welcoming, calm, and thoughtfully designed. You leave feeling stronger, aligned, and energized. If you care about true classical Pilates and excellent equipment, this is absolutely the place to go. I'm genuinely thrilled it will be my new neighborhood studio when I move to San Rafael.

After Cheryl showed me some specific exercises to do on the Cadillac machine, my sacrum/SI joints…read morehave never felt better. I feel like I had a successful surgery that made the problem go away for longer than it has in the past. Even after chiropractic adjustments, the joints go in and out of place with a sneeze or rolling over during sleep, or driving. It's been 2 days since I saw you and it's still going! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I could cry just knowing that there could be a solution to the daily discomfort and pain I have with sitting and most activities due to those joints (and others) constantly subluxating. I have a lot of mobility issues, injuries and pain due to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Pilates is the one form of exercise I can do that helps instead of hurts me. I highly recommend classes or private lessons with Cheryl to help you get your strength and life back!

Scrupulously honest--once I left my wallet by accident, including an above average amount of cash (by my personal standards.)

Special mention goes the instructors stellar Storie, Claire, and Chloe, 3 teachers I work with often who inspire and motivate me to go beyond my previous physical limits.

I also book through ClassPass and have found it to be really reliable for getting into classes here. Overall, a great studio if you're looking for a challenging, effective workout with consistently great instruction.

Were someone to ask me for a single-word assessment of my Club Pilates experience it would be…read more"inconsistent". Though I've settled on an overall 4-star rating, there have been several visits where I'd not have rated it above 3-stars and once a single-star experience. But overall, if what you seek is a group exercise class, Club Pilates, with its clean, well-organized space and abundance of class offerings will suffice. A friend of mine owned a Club Pilates franchise and she described to me the most difficult part of the experience was hiring and keeping good staff. I imagine that remains a challenge, possibly because many of the best Pilates instructors might opt to work with a smaller class size, where they could more easily oversee correct movement and body-part placements. When a friend heard that I was going here she questioned how instructors manage these important Pilates concepts and I had to admit: Often, not at all. The key to a great experience here is twofold: find the class description you like then find an instructor you also like, who leads that class. This can be a challenge. The sign-up system is via the Club Pilates app and it's easy, but those who've already figured out the above tend to fill those classes quickly. Club Pilates is far from my idea of an ideal Pilates experience but sometimes good enough is okay too. That's exactly what I've found this Club Pilates to be and if I can ever get the classes and instructors I desire on a regular basis that opinion will certainly improve.
